Hopkins - Post-Op Day Six

Needing prayers.....

Max had another panic attack much as he did yesterday morning. He is completely fed up with the breathing tube and he tries to push it out with his tongue choking himself and then he panics. It was extremely scary to see.

As a result of the attack he is again very sedated, an x-ray will be done shortly to see if the coughing/choking fit actually opened his lungs. Perhaps a positive from a negative?

He also had some bluing of his hands towards the end of the attack so cardiology has ordered an echo cardiogram to be certain that there isn't anything else going on.

Please pray for Max, that his lungs will open and that his heart is fine. We need to get off this roller coaster!

Please give Max a big smooch from me and let him know that he has lots of happy thoughts from me, Tay, and Trav. As for you Patricia...warm loving thoughts to you and Michele as I can understand the ride that you both are on. Prayers to you all and those tending to Max.
